the racket of dawn

i wake
up before the sun does.
i can
hear every
mode of transportation
that runs
in the world
outside
the window.
cars
and locomotives,
buses
and planes.
anything with a wheel
and an
engine
seems to be engaged.
leaf blowers too.
hedge trimmers.
is that
a trash truck i hear
lifting
the barrels?
the birds
have no chance
on this
autumn day.
and what is that,
a hair dryer in the bathroom?
you too?
